The Logic of Life
March 9, 2008 – 5:09 pm by BHby Tim Hartford. The book forum over at Marginal Revolution is over, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read the book anyway. As you go along you can read what Tyler and company wrote:
Chapter 1: Introducing the Logic of Life
Chapter 2: Las Vegas
Chapter 3: Is Divorce Underrated?
Chapter 4: Why Your Boss is Overpaid
Chapter 5: In the Neighborhood
Chapter 6: The Dangers of Rational Racism
Chapter 7: The World is Spiky
Chapter 8: Rational Revolutions
Chapter 9: A Million Years of Logic
These links all go to marginal revolution, but some of the reviews are on other sites, so follow the links.
I must say that I liked the book but found the book club discussion a little wanting. I felt that I learned more with the earlier forum on Greg Clark’s book, but that might simply reflect that I knew less about that topic. I know Tyler is busy but I am not sure the outsourcing went as well as planned. At any rate, if you have not already done so, get the book and read through it with this handy guide. Tim regularly contributed in the comments section so be sure to check that out as well.
